Photographer in Lugano – Engagement between Gandria, Parco Ciani and Lake Lugano

My first job outside Italy as a photographer in Lugano in Switzerland.

The story of Diana and Gianluca is the story of different cultures and traditions that merge to give life to a tight couple and a disarming sweetness, from the first shots you can see their complicity and their sweet smiles.

Between Switzerland, Japan and Italy

Diana is a girl who grew up in Lugano but of Swiss-Japanese origin, Swiss father and Japanese mother. Gianluca instead is of Tuscan origin. Both live and work in Zurich where they met.

Lugano and its lake are a wonderful place for a photoshoot

Their engagement was held in Lugano. The first day we chose Gandria, a small village overlooking the lake. Where after a series of steps we found ourselves directly on the shore of the lake. The village can be reached through a path that runs along the lake very impressive and not too demanding

Aerial photographs in Gandria

In Gandria I decided to use one more resource: my drone. This allowed a different perspective but also a unique memory for Diana and Gianluca.

After Gandria we moved to the small church of San Giorgio, from there we can enjoy a beautiful view of Lake Lugano. And finally, we completed the service in the Parco Ciani, also called the Parco di Lugano because it is right in the city center.

The icing on the cake, the Japanese dinner

To make this trip even more special was the welcome of Diana’s family. In fact, I had the honor to have dinner at their home while enjoying a typical dish of Japanese culture based on Teppanyaki and Miso soup.
